Overview

=================

A recent breakthrough in robotics marks a significant milestone as Figure, a leading robotics company, has unveiled Figure 01, a humanoid robot capable of engaging in full-fledged conversations with humans. This remarkable feat is made possible by integrating OpenAI’s cutting-edge technology in Figure 01, showcasing the potential of robotics to bridge the gap between humans and machines. Figure 01’s integration of OpenAI’s sophisticated visual and language models empowers it to comprehend language and interpret visual information seamlessly. The collaboration between Figure and OpenAI represents a convergence of Robotics and AI, promising to transform industries across the board. By enhancing robots’ ability to interact naturally with humans and perform complex tasks, this interdisciplinary approach opens doors to diverse applications in manufacturing, healthcare, and personal assistance sectors, among others. As humanoid robots become more advanced and autonomous, they hold the potential to redefine societal norms and expectations. This workshop is aimed at addressing the challenges of novel paradigms for human‒machine interaction in the context of InterAction Technology (IAT).



=================

Intended Audience

=================

The workshop is addressed to:

• Graduate students new to the fields of robotics, AI and shared control.

• Experienced researchers in aforementioned fields looking to expand the complexity and relevance of case studies used to demonstrate their techniques.
